"The warm water makes me need a wee and I'm not going to get out, soak the floor, dry off and all that.

"It's environmentally friendly as less toilet flushing.

"The water washes the wee away and it's only wee.

"I thought everyone did it occasionally."

Horrified reactions

Other parents were horrified by her admission.

One wrote: "Why can't you just go before you get in the shower?? Sorry but I think it is disgusting!"

Another added: "Nope. Grim behaviour. I wouldn't be impressed if my dh did it."

One woman replied: "I can always tell when someone is a shower p*****. Their shower cubicle and bathroom tends to stink of p*** in the same way a urinal does (sorry, but it does.) The only place any pee should be going is down a toilet."

One said: "I can't really see what's actually disgusting about it, it's only wee, it washes away immediately and then you have a wash so no danger (shock horrible) of any traces of urine left on your body!"

Another replied: "Peeing in the shower is eco friendly. Our loo uses 10 litres of water for a flush, that’s 5 days drinking water. As for it being disgusting, in what way? How? How can your own wee bring washed down the drain be disgusting."
